It sounds more like you have some seriously wonky equipment. Has this
machine ever run a Linux distro before?
This machine has been running Linux since its birth in 1999. It ran
FC1, FC2 test 1, everything. It has perfectly standard equipment and
it isn't a problem of equipment when the installer in boot.iso does not
support IDE disks like used by 99.999999999999 % of Earthers, and it
isn't a problem of equipment when the installer in boot.iso is
forcing you to choose an ethernet driver (from a list
of exotic cards you don't have) because it is too stupid
to notice that your card has been detected and its driver (via-rhine)
successfully loaded. And it refuses to go further since of course
loading any driver from the list will fail.
